Capo I
Verse 1
G D/F#
I found box of memories, read a letter dropped tear where you signed your name, turnin'
Em7 D C2
the page, smearin' the ink in love always
G D/F#
Girl I always start this way, then I end up in a bottle screamin' out you name, punchin' the
Em7 D C2
walls carryin' on like I've gone insane
D/A Em7 D/A
And in the mirror I can see the man who just shook his head with no remorse, watchin' an
C2 D
angel cry tears as she stepped over my beers headed out the door.
Chorus:
G D/F# Em7
There ain't nothin' like a memory, when its comin' on strong like a hurricane, how could
C2 D/F# D C2 G D/F#
love like that just up and walk away, killin' me baby, its got me pourin' up another drink,
Em7 C2 Em7
bourbon’s hittin' me hard like a freight train, with my back against the wall or on my
D C2 G
knees, when worst of your memory gets the best of me.
Verse 2
Well I remember it all too well, ridin' 441 down to Milledgeville, crossin' the bridge as the sun set on Lake Sinclair
I couldn't wait to see your smile, but all I saw was tears in your pretty eyes, and that said it all, it was all downhill from there
And I remeber you sayin' baby please don't give up on me, but this stubborn man is gonna line the bed he made,
Chorus x2
G D/F# Em7 D C2 D/A
